Wisconsin DNR Encourages Experienced Hunters To Mentor New Hunters

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is encouraging experienced hunters to share their skills and knowledge with novice hunters by becoming hunting mentors this fall.

The DNR says mentored hunting is a one-on-one learning experience that can be a great way to help new hunters navigate hunting scenarios with the guidance of somebody with experience.

This one-on-one mentoring opportunity gives novice hunters a chance to try hunting without first completing a Hunter Safety course and no special steps are required to purchase a mentored hunting license.

Volunteer Hunter Education Instructors must be at least 18 years old, graduate from the Hunter Safety student course in Wisconsin, be willing to devote the necessary time and effort to carry out
program responsibilities and pass a background check.
